Tinker Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Loved this, isn't it amazing how art inspires more art. The style of writing speaks to my previous comments on your last piece, sometimes I get tangled in the words. Here you use the words like a painter, full of color and dimension to move the reader. Nice. ~~Judi 2 Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I agree with Judi. This is great work. And re: On 4/3/2022 at 11:23 AM, dr_con said: They said of him he sacrificed relationships for his art accusatory * denouncing * difficult ‘They’ being a glyph we understand to mean jealous * admiring * judgmental there will always be haters. But you showcase what is yours. Here, at Gate(less), and perhaps elsewhere, it's never about the museum.
